John D’Ambrogio

It’s time for the 2016 Chicagoland/US real estate update.  What will happen with Brexit, the election, changes in mortgage rates?  We’ve seen positive, sustainable growth, increase volume/units/ASP across the board  We’re finally in the closest thing to a “normal” market that most of us have ever lived through!

What caused this, and what does the future hold?  Take a look!

Sky-high occupancy; lots of new product; slowing growth.  What’s new in the rental market?

Well, here’s your chance to find out!   I, like virtually every relocation professional I know, “backed into” relocation.  We were just like normal people, we had NO IDEA what the relo industry was.  So here’s my story….(on page 34!)…

John D’ tells all!

We’ve got a great summer ahead in the real estate and relocation world in Chicagoland.  Increase ASP, increased volume and units….although we’re still dealing with very tight inventory and a viciously active rental market.  Take a look!

John D’Ambrogio

What’s new in Chicagoaland real estate?  Well, contracts and average sales price are UP, and inventory is DOWN.  And I mean WAY DOWN.  Take a look…..

Anything I can help with?  Just let me know!.

Inman recently released it’s top 101 – As they call it ” Rebels, CEOs, power brokers, misfits, deal-makers, newbies and innovators ” the leaders who “never stop doing.”

It’s a privilege to know and have worked with many of them, particularly Leading RE’s own Stephanie Pfeffer.  I am most pleased, however, to be able to work for one the great innovators on the list – Thad Wong.

Take a look at the entire list!

My professional colleague Robert Telosa recently wrote a great article on 20 things to know before moving to Chicago. Of particular note – yes the winters are cold, and yes the summers make it worthwhile. It’s a great read and can be found here

Enjoy!.
